Thank you Heather for speaking some of the most important truths of our time. Your courage is inspiring.
Love everything she is saying. I want to know that my physician, pilot, dentist, etc., graduated on merit and not because they were dumbed down because they couldn't keep up. Anyone that thinks otherwise is not thinking with their brain
If only anyone gaf about what you want karyn
@@xx7101Nice ignorant insult 🙄
I may not agree with everything she says, but she is an amazing ambassador for the arts. She makes art and literature and classical music seem absolutely magical
excellent
This resonates very strongly after the congressional hearings
Audio is not clear until 6:44 minutes in.
Make sure you pay your taxes so the government employees and politicians can live large lifestyles.

I was curious until you praised Ron DeSantis…. Also, what about providing a better education in minority schools? The three R’s are vital to success. When a child isn’t given a chance from the beginning, based on his or her neighborhood school, how can we ever see a benefit? Also, until recently women didn’t have the same rights as men, so both of us should be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen. I understand the frustration but there should be groundwork for public education.
The entire method of funding and how that delivers further disadvantage at school to those who have disadvantage at home is certainly something that would be better addressed by some method better and earlier than university diversity programs.
Women and men are different. Yes the law should treat them equally. However, sex for women is asymmetric when compared to men. They potentially bear a very unequal burden and there is no solution.
As one of the minority of true conservatives in education, here is my response: It's funny, no one ever wants to talk about WHY these kids are coming to college unprepared or under-prepared and the reason is, the Democratic establishment can always count on their support. Those schools are run by (mostly) union teachers, who aren't ever held accountable, administered by feminists and minorities, so it doesn't matter, as long as the union dues go into the party coffers. And the clientele whose children are stuck in these generational failure factories, will still vote a certain way. Why do anything to change that? I love how so many liberals say strawman type lines like conservatives hate education or don't care about children....etc. When this top to bottom run Democrat failure complex never gets any better. Also, its not just money. Look at per pupil spending at a lot of the worst urban districts, and you will find they often spend more than many good suburban districts, often with graduation rates that are near zero. Just my opinion.
Yeah, the manifest failure of primary and secondary education used to be the main talking point when people bitched about the education system, but today it's "woke universities" which are byproducts of the original failure, which never got addressed. Our education system sucks from the ground up, and universities de-woking themselves wouldn't fix it; through true meritocracy we'd just revert to the status quo ante of the already privileged further entrenching their privilege across generations. The privileged these days spend tons of money circumventing the public education system, of course, through private schools and outside help. It's a shitshow.
And, as a long-time instructor at a relatively privileged university, it's rare to find a privileged student who can write correct English consistently and appears to have read and absorbed at least several substantial books. And now they can get AI to write their papers regardless.
